October 20, 2009 (FinancialWire) — CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSX.Venture: CVV) (OTCBB: CVVUF) has hired Joseph Bowes as its new chief financial officer. He replaces Damian Towns, who has now returned to his full time duties with Coro Mining Corp. and Valley High Ventures Ltd. Towns has worked with CanAlaska over the past year.

Bowes served for the past 20 years as president of Angus Management, a consulting firm he founded, which provides specialized services in the areas of strategy, finance, and corporate development.

His previous service included director positions and senior management roles including CEO, CFO, and COO, as well as senior audit-accounting experience with both Price Waterhouse Coopers and KPMG.

Vancouver-based CanAlaska Uranium is undertaking uranium exploration in twenty 100%-owned and three optioned uranium projects in Canada’s Athabasca Basin. The company said it is fully-funded for current operations and is budgeting for fall-winter 2010 exploration programs financed by its joint venture partnerships and from current treasury.

The company is awaiting assay results from summer exploration that was undertaken on the Lake Athabasca Project, and from mapping and sampling work at the Poplar Project, where the company has been working six Chinese-trained geologists from East Resources Inc.
